Processing of personal data
City customer’s rights to register data
The City collects personal data from customers to the extent necessary to provide the service. With respect to the information collected in the register, a data subject has the right to know what information is being collected about them. If the information is incorrect, the customer may request that it be corrected.
The processing of personal data by the City’s services is mainly based on the implementation of the City’s statutory obligation or the exercise of public powers vested in a public authority. Where the processing of personal data is based on consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time.
The data are collected in different registers according to the purposes for which they are used. The registers have privacy statements, which can be found below on this page.

Information about data protection, laws and regulations
Informing the data subject
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU 679/2016) requires data controllers to inform data subjects about the purposes and means of processing personal data, i.e. what personal data are stored in the registers, how the data are processed, where they may be disclosed and for how long they are stored. The information also provides the data subject with information about their rights and of the party they can contact in order to exercise those rights. The EU General Data Protection Regulation is supplemented by the National Data Protection Act (1050/2018).
The services provided by the City of Kuopio are mainly based on the provision of services required by legislation and services that the City has taken on itself to organise. In connection with the provision of these services, personal data that constitute personal data registers are processed.
The City of Kuopio, as the controller, uses a privacy statement to provide information in accordance with the GDPR. The official responsible for the personal register is also responsible for ensuring that the privacy statement is accurate and up-to-date.
